Not entirely true here. There is a pulseaudio library installed by default 
(libpulse0) :

	"Client libraries used by applications that access a PulseAudio sound server 	
	via PulseAudio's native interface"

But the actual pulseaudio *sound server* (Package name pulseaudio, and its 
dependencies) is not. Something  installed afterward is pulling it in:

apt-cache rdepends pulseaudio
pulseaudio                                       
Reverse Depends:                                 
  pulseaudio-esound-compat                       
  pulseaudio-dbg                                 
  openjdk-6-jre                                  
  libpulsecore9                                  
  libpulsecore9                                  
  libpulse0
  ubuntustudio-desktop
  ubuntu-netbook-remix
  mpd
  ubuntu-desktop
  pulseaudio-esound-compat
  pulseaudio-dbg
  openjdk-6-jre
  ltsp-client
  libpulsecore9
  libpulsecore9
  libpulse0

The only thing that sticks out is openjdk-jre (a java package), or perhaps a 
package that depends on something in the above list such as the icedtea6-
plugin
